After many moons absence I am showing my fiancé Mutiny and Retribution and realising both that I will be leaving him if he doesn't like it (!!) and that good god, I've missed this fandom. I miss you all. How are you?
I am new to the fandom and have been voraciously tabbing back through all of your accounts and reading every lovely thing you all have written for the past however many years. I read the novels in the 90's when I was a teenager and saw the first one or two TV episodes before moving to China and missing everything that followed. All I remember at the time was thinking, "Why is Hornblower in prison with his whole happy crew? Isn't he supposed to be sad and alone?" But I watched all the episodes on YouTube recently and totally fell in love with them all. Especially Archie. Thinking about Retribution can literally make me start crying in the middle of a grocery store. In China. Sixteen years after the fact. So I had to cheer myself up by reading happy fanfic and make myself cry more with angsty fic. I love Archie and Horatio, I am fond of Bush, and I am firmly convinced that Pellew had ONLY fatherly feelings for all his boys. Also, I love all of you authors here on LJ, all your naval research and your beautiful words. It makes me so happy

I am well though guilty of being more absent from here than I Should be - but still here actually and trying to get time to post something - as Eglantine says 'goofy ' also

I am well. The fandom has gotten quiet, but I am trying to drag people over from Tumblr, some success...
I actually have a goofy little something nearly ready to post tonight. (Waves at you....)
